All of a sudden I found myself inside a woods. Which was to be expected since I had gone hunting, but I did not recognize the terrain at all. The place I had gone to is where I had hunted for years. I would not say that I knew it like the back of hand, but I certainly would recognize where I was after taking a moment to look around, but that was not the case this time. 

What happened? I only took a small nap because it was still dark after hiking up the mountain and getting to my hunting spot. When I woke up I did not recognize my surroundings. 

Nothing matches what I had in my head!? This is not my hunting spot!!!

I decided to do a double check of my surroundings and my equipment. 

I turned my head and looked around, and thought. 

It seems that I am still on the mountain…. but how did I get here?... nothing looks familiar and for certain that huge tree as big as a mountain in the distance was not there!!!

I took a deep breath to calm myself down.

Am I in a strange dream? I have had quite a few strange ones, like fighting wolves in my kitchen, but this seems strangely real. 

I pinched my arm… nothing, I took out a knife out of my pocket and gave my arm a very small cut.

… yes I felt pain both times, but nothing has changed…. I have one thing last to try but let's check my equipment first.

I still had my backpack which had 2 days worth of food, made of oatmeal and some peanut butter sandwiches. I also had some snacks like granola bars and power bars. I still had my hydro flask water bottle half full of water. I had  a change of clothes just in case I got wet, and a poncho for the rain. I also had my hunting bags, saw for cutting bone, some knives for slicing through deer skin and some common knives just in case. On my person I had my wallet, some more knives, toilet paper, some marking tape to mark trails, my camo clothes including my camo coat, and lastly I had my compound bow and hand gun, a 9mm pistol.

I didn't have a tent since it was a one day hunt and had come up the mountain in the early morning. I also didn’t have a compass because I knew this part of the mountain pretty well, nor did I bring a lot of water because I knew where a spring was at the top of the mountain. 

Stuff/equipment = 

* Clothes: Camo genes, camo shirt, camo coat, camo hat with lights, thermal underwear 

* camo backpack(tarp, poncho, change of clothes, socks, underware, warmers, water bottle, hunter bags, stool, phone, wallet, knives, big knife, hatchet, small saw, 2 days of oatmeal/potato mix, granola bars/power bars, smell killer, trail cam, spare batteries, bow tools, sketch book, small pot, some utensils, some camo tools, small first aid kit, salt, lighter), 

* camo waist bag(trail marking tape, knife, small ropes, toilet paper, monocular, Walmart bags, small notebook, camera, bear spray, lighter), 

* Weapons: 9mm handgun with 1 mags normal and 1 mag hollow point, 60-90 lb compound bow with 5 arrows, 

After finishing checking my stuff, to make sure it was all there and it matched what I had in my memory, I started to pack it all up. While packing I grabbed some salt and sprinkled it onto the cut on my arm and then poured a tiny bit of water onto it. 

The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

guh, I grunted a bit at the sting in my arm and noticed that nothing had changed.

well…. I guess for now I will act as if I am not in a dream for now and if I wake up later then nothing is loss but if I treat this as a dream and something really happens to me that it would be stupid. 

I finished packing my stuff and sat on a nearby rock to think some more.

Did I get transported to another world? or in other words isekaied? I certainly never thought it was possible and wasn’t it only possible if you were hit by a truck? 

I shook my head a little.

No, it is not certain that I have been transferred, I should explore and even if I was I would still need to explore. 

I got up and started to look around.

Now where to start?

I then looked up. The sun was up in the sky, a bit to one side, my right.

I am not sure if the sun is setting or rising. I will just look around my general area until I notice it changes its position a bit.

I started to look around again. I was surrounded by trees, they looked slightly different than the ones I was familiar with, but I am no tree expert. To the right of me was uphill, to the front of me was downhill, to the left of me was also downhill, but more extreme and I could see a huge tree in the distance in that direction. Lastly, I looked behind me which had a bit rock that looked carved and had some strange writing on it. The rock looked old, really old and falling apart.

What is this? … I have no idea.

I took out my camera and took a quick picture of the rock and while I was at it I took a picture of the tree in the distance. 

I then started to walk around in the general area and check things out. 

I noticed that all the trees were generally bigger, and were really tall too. There was some vines between the trees… but suddenly I noticed something really odd. It was darker than I felt like it should be, I could see the sun, and there were no real clouds and the trees were kinda spaced but for some reason it was darker as if there was a huge cloud blocking the sun. I also had an odd feeling, a tingly feeling.

What is that feeling and why is it dark?.... also…… Why are there no animal sounds? Is there a predator? Why is it quiet?

I started to look around nervously, and then checked the suns position quickly and saw it was going down. Now it was time to make some decisions.

It will be dark soon, I should find some shelter, which direction should I go in? I honestly want to go up the mountain and have a better look around, but I do not know this area. I do not know what predators could be around, unless I am simply really confused and this is the same mountain. 

I sighed feeling exhausted and maybe stupid for thinking too much about this.

If this is not the same place then there might be some predator at the top of the mountain, like some mountain lions. While I could shoot them, I might be ambushed. 

Quickly took my 9mm handgun out of my backpack and strapped it around my waist on the outside so that I could get it quickly. 

Alright, let's do it, let's take the risk and go up the mountain to take a look around, I can always go back down later. I should priorities looking for shelter as I go. It still bothers me that it is quiet.

I started to go up the mountain.
